Sending my list to santa (New PC)

[Codeworx]

Putting together a list for Santa for a new desktop.

Has anyone tired AMD Ryzen for a processor? Specifically the 1900X 3.8Ghz with 40mb cache. Or should I steer clear and stick with i7-7700k/7740X

From everything I know about Mastercam and everything I've read on PC spec thread we want Highest Single core speed with lots of Cache and the threadripper meets those criteria, just not sure I want to be the Ginny-pig

How often do you take advantage of 16 threads?

Treadripper has the highest single core speed? I'm 99% sure Intel holds that title.

The Threadripper would blow away Intel in areas like encoding, rendering, etc... But in Mastercam I would stick with the fastest Intel you can afford.

And don't forget about FAST ram.  Don't just slap in 2400Mhz ram, get 3600Mhz or so, the difference is noticeable.

its not uncommon for my files to be 300+ mb and regenerating multiple operations. (lots tied to stock model's)

i know intel core speed is faster, was curious if the extra cores and cache would offset the clock difference resualting in a net gain. Could be faster for stock models and opti/modulworks paths but defiantly slower in legacy surface.... 2D who cares regen is negligible

 

Ram/ssd/gpu will be top end for budget.

CNC said they were going to do a comparison benchmark, but that was a few months ago and haven't heard from them since.
